All cells are born with a nucleus, but not the red blood cell. Without the large structure in the cell, it can carry more oxygen. But without a nucleus, it cannot reproduce and will die eventually. A red blood cell's life span is about 3-4 months. After that, it will be sent to the liver to be destroyed.When red blood cells are destroyed they release heme, a prosthetic group, that consists of iron. Iron is used to reproduce red blood cells in bone marrow. Red blood cells usually are reproduced in bone marrow.
Red blood cells don't have nuliets however white blood cells do. Red blood cells can have an average life-span of 120 days while white blood cells do not have an average life span. Also, white blood cells are larger than red blood cells.
The lifespan of white blood cells ranges from 13 to 20 days, after which time they are destroyed in the lymphatic system.
three days
Intestinal cells reproduce frequently. In the colon the cells reproduce about once every 3 to 4 days. In the small intestine the cells reproduce about once a week.
If you mean causes, then white blood cells are made in the bone marrow by hematopoietic stem cells. There are 5 types and they live around 7 days.
red blood cells carry oxygen that is inhaled by the lungs to the rest of the body. white blood cells help fight infections
The lifespan of white blood cells ranges from 13 to 20 days, after which time they are destroyed in the lymphatic system.
WBCs live in circulation for about 30 days
they are different in that their shapes are different, but they both are necessary for the body's proper functioning. The ratio of red to white blood cells is 700:1 so their are much more red than white. Also red cells have an average lifespan of about 120 days, while white cells live a maximum of 4 days!! what a difference...they both are found in blood and help the body function
Cells are microscopic beings that live and can reproduce within one hour! Some human cells live only a day, and others many years. The red blood cell, which cannot reproduce itself, lives up to 120 days.
False, red blood cells circulate for an average of 120 days before they are worn out from squeezing through narrow capillaries.
